Strategic Leadership Priorities for Singapore’s Digital Defence
Strategic Leadership Priorities for Singapore’s Digital Defence
In alignment with the Digital Defence pillar of Singapore’s Total Defence strategy, this flagship DDAS session convenes a high-level dialogue between policy leaders and industry practitioners to address the escalating threat landscape in Singapore and Asia.
Operational resilience & strategic response frameworks
Operational Resilience: Moving beyond theoretical risk to implement hardware-verified assurance & trusted data boundaries.
Strategic Response: Blending expert-led thought leadership with peer dialogue to safeguard Critical Information Infrastructure (CII).
Cross-Sectoral Synergy: Facilitating the "Whole-of-Nation" approach through active collaboration between Government & Industry leaders.

Cross-Sectoral Synergy: Facilitating the "Whole-of-Nation" approach through active collaboration between Government & Industry leaders.
This session serves as a neutral platform for cross-sectoral synergy. By facilitating collaboration between the public and private sectors, DDAS reinforces its mission to nurture a trusted, secure, and resilient digital ecosystem for Singapore.
FEATURED SPEAKER
Synopsis: As AI transitions from a theoretical risk to a national security necessity, the focus for Singapore’s digital leaders is shifting toward operational resilience and strategic response.
This session architects the integration of AI into sensitive environments, focusing on:
-
Automated Threat Detection: Leveraging AI for insider risk analysis at scale.
-
Securing Attack Surfaces: Managing unverified vulnerabilities in the AI lifecycle.
-
Trusted Boundaries: Balancing rapid innovation with hardware-verified security.
Who: Tim Freestone - Director of Sales Engineering - Everfox
Title: AI for National Defence: Balancing Innovation with Assurance
When: 10.05AM
AI FOR NATIONAL DEFENCE
FEATURED SPEAKER
Synopsis: As AI agents transform the digital landscape through autonomy and dynamic system access, the primary risk vector shifts from models to identities.
Every AI agent possesses an identity, and every identity expands your attack surface.
This session defines the non-negotiable link between AI governance and identity, focusing on:
-
The Identity-AI Nexus: Why you cannot control the AI if you do not govern the underlying identity.
-
Privilege Management: Navigating the risks of automated, high-velocity system access.
-
Scaling with Security: Enabling rapid AI adoption while maintaining rigid data boundaries.
Who: Matt Fangman - Field Chief Technology Officer - SailPoint
Bryan Kelley - AVP, Agentic Technology Specialist - SailPoint
Title: Agentic AI Framework - A SailPoint's Perspective
When: 10.25AM
AGENTIC AI FRAMEWORK
FEATURED SPEAKER
Synopsis: Singapore’s significant contribution to cyber detection & response has created a robust front line, yet the investigative layer remains under-indexed.
This layer is the catalyst that transforms isolated incidents into actionable intelligence & cyber attacks into successful convictions.
This session positions digital forensics as a cornerstone of national resilience, exploring:
-
Incident to Intelligence: Bridging the gap between initial detection & comprehensive investigative response.
-
AI-Assisted Capabilities: Harnessing next-generation tools to operate at the speed of the threat.
-
The Accountability Framework: Practical applications of how forensics solidifies the national cyber-defence posture.
Who: Rozaili Idris - Senior Sales Engineer - Magnet Forensics
Title: The Missing Layer: Why Digital Forensics is Central to Singapore's Cyber Resilience
When: 10.45AM
